Master of Science [MS] (Luxury Management)
Field of Study:
₹33.7 L/Yr
ESCP Business School Master of Science (MSc) Luxury Management is a 15-month full-time programme across Turin and Paris for the September 2027 intake. Applicants need at least 180 European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) credits, English C1 fluency and a luxury-sector career plan. The confirmed 2027/2028 total fee is €29,900 (INR 32.70 Lakhs) for students with 240 ECTS credits.

It fits Indian applicants who want a sector-specific management degree and can handle the cost and logistics of moving from Turin to Paris.
- The degree combines the French Master degree (DEAMIE) with the MSc in Luxury Management.
- Students study in Turin from October to December and Paris from January to June.
- The professional mission requires at least four months of in-company experience anywhere in the world.

ESCP MSc Luxury Management Fees and Living Costs 2027
The confirmed 2027/2028 fee is €29,900 (INR 32.70 Lakhs) for students entering with 240 ECTS credits. Students entering with 180 ECTS credits pay more because ESCP adds compulsory online core courses before the campus terms.
September 2027 fee context: ESCP publishes the same European and non-European fee for this MSc, while travel and accommodation remain outside tuition.
| Fee item | Amount | INR equivalent | Applicant meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Application fee | €130 | INR 14,218 | Non-refundable cost due with the application. |
| Core courses | €17,500 | INR 19.14 Lakhs | Base management component inside the published MSc fee. |
| Luxury Management specialisation | €12,400 | INR 13.56 Lakhs | Sector-specific component for the luxury specialisation. |
| Student service and registration costs | €2,300 | INR 2.52 Lakhs | Administrative, service and registration charge inside total costs. |
| Total cost for students with 240 ECTS credits | €29,900 | INR 32.70 Lakhs | Main billed total for eligible applicants with sufficient prior credits. |
| Total cost for students with 180 ECTS credits | €33,500 | INR 36.64 Lakhs | Higher billed total after the additional online semester supplement. |
| Acceptance deposit | €5,000 | INR 5.47 Lakhs | Non-refundable confirmation payment deducted from total tuition fees. |

The 240 ECTS route is the cleaner budget case for Indian applicants with a four-year degree or equivalent prior study. A three-year Indian bachelor’s degree may satisfy the 180 ECTS minimum, but the online core semester can add €3,600 (INR 3.94 Lakhs) before campus travel begins.
Cost of Living in Turin and Paris for MSc Students
ESCP’s official student-services estimate is campus-based, so the Turin and Paris months should be budgeted separately. The table below uses the published monthly totals for Turin and Paris, then applies the programme’s taught-campus sequence.
Campus living-cost context: the calculation covers three taught months in Turin and six taught months in Paris, excluding the later internship location.
| Campus period | Monthly estimate | Monthly INR equivalent | Programme months | Calculated subtotal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Turin accommodation, living costs, transport and leisure | €1,300 | INR 1.42 Lakhs | 3 months | €3,900 (INR 4.27 Lakhs) |
| Paris accommodation, living costs, transport and leisure | €1,925 | INR 2.11 Lakhs | 6 months | €11,550 (INR 12.63 Lakhs) |
| Calculated taught-campus living total | Not a monthly amount | Not a monthly amount | 9 months | €15,450 (INR 16.90 Lakhs) |
The calculated taught-campus budget is €45,350 (INR 49.60 Lakhs) for a 240 ECTS entrant before flights, visa costs and internship living expenses. For a 180 ECTS entrant, the same calculation becomes €48,950 (INR 53.54 Lakhs) because of the extra core-course supplement.

Budget note
ESCP’s living estimate is separate from visa maintenance proof and from internship expenses after June. Indian applicants should secure tuition, nine taught-campus months and a flexible internship budget before relying on paid work.
ROI reality: The programme’s minimum confirmed taught-campus cost is €45,350 (INR 49.60 Lakhs) before the internship term. This makes scholarship timing and the 180 ECTS supplement central to the funding decision.
ESCP MSc Luxury Management Admission 2027
Admission is open to graduates from any field who can show English fluency, luxury-sector motivation and early career readiness. ESCP also caps prior luxury-sector professional experience at 2.5 years, so this MSc targets young graduates and early executives.
Intake and Class Profile
The programme has one annual intake beginning in September, followed by online core study where required and campus terms in Turin and Paris. ESCP’s published 2026 intake profile gives Indian applicants a useful competitiveness signal without acting as a selection cutoff.
Published cohort context: the class-profile figures below refer to ESCP’s 2026 intake for MSc Luxury Management.
| Profile item | Published figure | Applicant meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Nationalities | 23 nationalities | The class already includes India among listed countries. |
| Average age | 23 years old | The programme is calibrated for early-career applicants. |
| Gender mix | 12% men and 88% women | The cohort is currently heavily female, but ESCP publishes no gender quota. |
Academic Eligibility for Indian Applicants
ESCP’s academic threshold is based on ECTS credits rather than a GPA cutoff. For Indian applicants, this means degree recognition and credit equivalence matter more than converting marks into a foreign grading scale.
Eligibility context: ESCP states that applicants need a minimum 180 ECTS bachelor’s or master’s degree in any field.
| Requirement | Official rule | Indian applicant meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Academic degree | Minimum 180 ECTS bachelor’s or master’s degree in any field | A recognised Indian three-year bachelor’s degree can align with 180 ECTS, subject to ESCP’s equivalency decision. |
| Higher-credit route | Students with 240 ECTS credits avoid the online core supplement | A four-year degree or equivalent prior study can reduce the billed course cost. |
| Professional experience | Prior professional experience in luxury sector, maximum 2.5 years | Use internships or early work history, but do not present a senior-manager profile. |
| Motivation | Strong interest and motivation for a career in luxury industry | The statement of purpose should name luxury functions, not only brands. |
| Profile plus | Previous international experience or some second-language knowledge | Campus mobility, exchange study, Italian or French exposure can strengthen fit. |
ESCP does not publish a minimum Indian percentage or 10-point CGPA for this MSc. Because the school makes the official equivalency decision, applicants should upload exact transcripts and explain grading only when the portal asks.
English Language Requirements
ESCP requires an English certificate from non-native speakers who did not complete high school or university education in English. The school publishes C1 level as the fluency requirement and rejects certificates older than two years.
English-test context: ESCP currently publishes TOEFL iBT on the 0 to 120 scale, so applicants should verify any revised TOEFL reporting inside the application portal.
| Accepted test | Minimum score | Indian applicant action |
|---|---|---|
| IELTS | 7 | Use this route if your overall and band profile already supports C1-level study. |
| TOEFL iBT | 100 on the 0 to 120 scale | Do not self-convert to the revised TOEFL scale unless ESCP requests it. |
| Cambridge CAE | 180 | Submit the official certificate only if it is within ESCP’s two-year validity rule. |
| TOEIC | 935 | Use this route only when the test format matches ESCP’s accepted certificate. |
- Applicants educated in English should still keep medium-of-instruction proof ready for the portal review.
- IELTS 7 is the clearest Indian test route because the score format is familiar to admissions teams.
- French or Italian knowledge is not mandatory, but it can support internships, housing and daily mobility.
Tip for Indian students: The formal threshold is accessible, but the fit test is specific. Show why luxury management, multi-campus study and a four-month professional mission match your preparation.
ESCP MSc Luxury Management Application 2027
The September 2027 application calendar is officially announced, but ESCP still labels 2026 intake admissions as closed. Indian applicants should treat Round 1 as the safest target because it leaves more time for scholarship, housing and visa planning.
September 2027 calendar context: ESCP publishes application deadlines and interview windows, but it does not publish a portal cutoff time.
| Round | Application deadline | Admission interviews | Indian applicant action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | 28 October 2026 | 3, 4 and 5 November 2026 | Best round for funding readiness and early housing research. |
| Round 2 | 2 February 2027 | 17, 18 and 19 February 2027 | Use this round if English scores or transcripts need more time. |
| Round 3 | 13 April 2027 | ESCP publishes 28, 29 and 20 April 2027 | Verify the interview dates in the portal because the published row is internally unusual. |
Because ESCP gives dates without a published time, the university portal cutoff controls the application. Indian applicants should submit one calendar day before the listed date, then keep the interview week free for online scheduling.
Application Documents and Selection
The application file is document-heavy, but the interview carries strategic weight because ESCP uses it to test motivation and fit. The strongest file connects previous study, luxury exposure and the Turin to Paris structure.
Application component context: ESCP lists these materials for applicants who complete the online application before the admissions-calendar deadline.
| Component | Official requirement | Decision use |
|---|---|---|
| Identity proof | ID card or passport copy | Use a passport that will remain valid through visa processing. |
| Degree proof | Degree copy or proof of current bachelor’s enrolment | Final-year students can apply before the final degree is issued. |
| Academic records | Original or certified transcripts for all years | Upload complete Indian mark sheets rather than only a consolidated summary. |
| Career file | Updated CV and motivation letter | Show luxury-sector interest through functions, projects or internships. |
| Reference | Academic or professional reference letter | Choose a referee who can verify analytical work and professional maturity. |
| English proof | English certificate unless prior education was in English | Keep test reports or medium-of-instruction proof ready before Round 1. |
- Use the motivation letter to explain why luxury management needs a specialised MSc rather than a general marketing degree.
- Prepare interview examples from customer experience, retail, hospitality, fashion, design, operations or family business exposure.
- Check the portal after submission because ESCP says admitted applicants receive the response in about three to four weeks.
Application tip: Round 1 on 28 October 2026 is the most practical target for Indian applicants. It gives enough runway to compare the 180 ECTS supplement, scholarship outcomes and visa sequencing.
ESCP MSc Luxury Management Scholarships 2027
ESCP confirms that MSc scholarships are available to admitted Master of Science candidates, but it does not publish a fixed award amount for this programme. Indian applicants should treat scholarships as selection-based tuition relief, not as a guaranteed reduction in the €29,900 (INR 32.70 Lakhs) fee.
Funding-status context: the table includes only officially published routes that can plausibly matter to an Indian MSc applicant.
| Scholarship route | Published value | Eligibility and route | 2027 applicant action |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESCP MSc scholarships | Amount not published | Available to admitted MSc candidates and judged by a panel including the Programme Director, Associate Dean and an industry professional. | Apply early and ask admissions how scholarship decisions align with the offer timeline. |
| France Excellence Charpak Master | €860 per month (INR 94,058), plus visa-fee exemption, Campus France fee exemption, health insurance help and housing support | Indian citizens or OCI holders aged 30 or younger pursuing a full-time master’s degree in France. | Check the 2027 call when it opens, and verify coverage because the ESCP programme includes a Turin term. |
Campus France India states that the 2026 Charpak Master results are finalized, so a September 2027 applicant cannot use that closed call as a current deadline. Apply to ESCP early, then watch for the next Charpak Master call before scholarship documents crowd the visa timeline.
- Use Round 1 if scholarship decisions must arrive before a loan sanction.
- Do not calculate a net tuition from ESCP scholarships because no official amount is published.
- Keep the Charpak statement of purpose distinct from the ESCP motivation letter because scholarship readers assess public-diplomacy fit.

Scholarship reality: The confirmed programme-level funding route has no published amount, and the India-specific Charpak call for 2026 is closed. Build the loan plan on the gross fee first, then treat scholarships as upside.
ESCP MSc Luxury Management Placements 2027
ESCP does not publish a course-specific salary, offer rate or employment report for MSc Luxury Management. The reliable career evidence is therefore the programme’s internship requirement, its listed role pathways and ESCP’s school-level career infrastructure.
Career evidence context: the table separates course-specific evidence from school-level support, so applicants do not mistake career services for placement guarantees.
| Evidence scope | Official fact | Decision meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Course-specific professional mission | Students complete a professional mission of at least four months anywhere in the world. | The internship is the main bridge between study and sector entry. |
| Course-specific consulting project | Students complete an international consulting project with a luxury-company brief. | Use the project to prove applied luxury problem-solving before interviews. |
| Course-specific role pathways | ESCP lists roles such as merchandiser, luxury advisor, retail buyer, luxury brand manager, product manager and business analyst. | The course fits commercial, retail, brand, operations and customer-experience paths. |
| School-level career infrastructure | ESCP reports 20,000 internship offers and 30,000 job opportunities per year through careers, alumni and fairs. | This is access infrastructure, not a course placement percentage. |
| Individual official testimonial | One published MSc Luxury Management student reports work with Porsche and McLaren marketing in Dubai. | This shows possible mobility, but it is not typical outcome evidence. |
The ROI case is strongest for applicants who already have luxury, hospitality, retail, fashion, design, automotive, beauty or family-business exposure. Without that base, the programme can still support a pivot, but the cost requires a disciplined internship strategy.
- The 240 ECTS taught-campus cost is €45,350 (INR 49.60 Lakhs), so secure loan sanction before the €5,000 (INR 5.47 Lakhs) deposit.
- No course salary is published, so do not use generic luxury salaries to forecast payback.
- The four-month internship is compulsory, so choose thesis and project themes that match target roles.
- Turin and Paris exposure helps luxury-market learning, but post-study hiring still depends on language, work authorization and role fit.
Graduates comparing France, Italy, Dubai or India-return routes should model take-home salary after local taxes before accepting a role. Use official tax calculators in the target country once a real offer amount is available.

ROI reality: This MSc can be rational when the internship and consulting project support a specific luxury function. It is risky when the applicant has no sector exposure and needs a guaranteed salary outcome.
France Visa for ESCP MSc Luxury Management Students 2027
Indian students need a visa plan for both the Turin start and the Paris study period. ESCP states that non-European students in Turin for more than 90 days need an Italian study Type D visa. For Paris, France lists India under Etudes en France procedure.
The French student visa price is €50 (INR 5,468). The VLS-TS validation tax is €150 (INR 16,406), and the resource threshold is €877.50 per month (INR 95,972).
- Start the Italian Type D process early because the Turin term runs from October to December.
- For Paris, the VLS-TS (long-stay visa serving as residence permit) must be validated after arrival.
- The French job-search or business-creation route lasts one year after eligible master’s-level study and is not renewable.
- A French work switch can require study-related gross monthly pay above €2,800.53 (INR 3.06 Lakhs), so salary scope matters.
Family members are not covered by the student’s visa category in the same automatic way as the student. A spouse or child must use the relevant family or visitor route, so applicants with dependants should verify the France-Visas wizard before paying deposits.

Visa reality: The mobility sequence is useful academically, but it adds administrative risk. Indian applicants should begin with the Italian Type D requirement, then prepare the French VLS-TS evidence before the Paris transition.
ESCP MSc Luxury Management fits applicants who want a specialised luxury-management route rather than a general business degree. Its main advantage is the Turin to Paris academic structure, supported by a consulting project, internship and professional thesis. The tradeoff is cost certainty without published course salary certainty, so applicants need a clear role target before paying the deposit. The strongest next step is to prepare for Round 1 while checking whether the 180 ECTS supplement and scholarship uncertainty fit the funding plan.
